Naturalised Peruvians on the Rise

By Naturegirl321 @SharonTEFLTips

More and more people are getting Peruvian citizenship. I remember when I got mine a couple years ago, people questioned me about it. My motivates weren't the best, but some of the people had been in Peru for much longer than I had and swore that they'd never get citizenship, but things changed.
I think the elections of 2011 caused people to get citizenship. They wanted to vote because they were scared of the outcome. While getting citizenship from a first world country, like England, France, or Spain is one thing, I really don't understand why first world citizens get third world citizenship.
When I was in the naturalisation office I had to deal with idiots who told me I HAD to change my name, yet a friend of mine didn't. Actually, no man I know has had to change their name, seems like only women do.
In addition, everyone there was there because they were Peruvians born abroad and were trying to get citizenship. This was back in 2008. Now I've been told things have changed.
I know one thing's for sure: my motivates for getting citizenship weren't the best and I'd much rather have citizenship from a first world country: one in Europe would be nice.
